so discovered it was loaded when the
contents of one of the chambers was
lodged in his stomach. The boy was
placed in wagon and taken home. The
party told big story about being fired
on by men in ambush il the bushes but
hnaliy the injured boy told the truth
about the matter.

HAVE IT CLEANED UP.

About half the street and nearly all
the sidewalk in front of the court house
have been occupied for eighteen months
or more by contractor McClain with
material and rubbish, to the very serious
Inconvenience of all who have occasion
to pass. While at work there the incon-
venience was put up with gracefully ;
but he has been through several weeks,
and there is no move on his part to
clean up the rubbish, as he is required
to do. This obstruction should be re-
moved at once. The power to abate the
nuisance rests with the municipal au>
thorities, and it should be exercised
vigorously, and without delay.
